Missing an option do disable volume ducking of other apps
Using Android phone.
While driving, I listen often to audiobooks (or music) via bluetooth from the phone.
Waze is configured to play the instructions via phone speaker.
When waze plays instructions, it forces ducking the volume of other playback. (starting a few seconds before til a few seconds after)
That's very impractical. Because of this behavior I miss the portions of sentences of the audiobooks. (That's meaningless, since I can regulate the volume of bluetooth playback and speaker playback independently.)
There needs to be an option disable audio ducking.
Thanks6 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Android Auto Problems
I noticed that there is no option to share the route through the ANDROID AUTO version and this is very important. It's also really bad when we use 2 fingers to zoom out of the map (after zooming out a bit, we can only zoom out by clicking on the "-" sign. I would like to suggest that this be looked into and improved. Thank you.

Sound output in a new iOS version not working
Please fix sound output in a new iOS version: Bluetooth/phone speakers. Sound is set to phone speakers, but goes to Bluetooth after recent update. I listen to the radio, not Bluetooth (bt is on for phone calls and the car is connected), as a result I do not hear Waze sounds - missed turns, missed notifications and trip alerts.
Please fix it, this feature was so useful while working :)
Thank you!

Control voice instructions via Android Auto
Please place a control on the Waze Android Auto screen to be able to at least mute/unmute the voice instructions. It would prevent from lots of dangerous situations as one wouldn't have to detach the phone from car USB and change the voice instruction level on the phone's screen.

Put a report button on the main screen of the Android UI
The iPhone UI has a report button on the main screen... why make Android users go through the extra step of hitting Menu before going to the reporting screen? I would love to see a "report" button somewhere on the screen so it's one press, no fumbling around for the menu button.
An idea would be to place the reporting button to the right of the user icon at the top of the title bar. There's quite a bit of unused space between that icon and the GPS/internet status icon.

Preinstalling Waze on Android
In Switzerland, Waze isn't really common and kinda unknown. I have no idea why, since around Switzerland (French, Italy, Germany, etc.) it's way more used.
So I thought that preinstalling it on Android devices (like google maps) could be a great idea in order to attract more users to the app.1 vote -
Add customize issue reporting button onto android auto or CarPlay interface
Allow users to customize addition of one frequently used “reporting issue” button to the android auto or CarPlay interface. Too many steps just to report a road hazard for example and that means eyes off the road, increasing risk factor for users.

Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

Incorrect Symbol in HUD and Widget for Roundabouts via Android Auto
Issue: Incorrect Symbol in HUD and Widget for Roundabouts via Android Auto
Vehicle: Smart #3 Brabus
Phone: OnePlus 13
Problem: When using Waze through Android Auto, roundabouts show incorrect navigation symbols in the car’s HUD and media widget. This does not happen in Google Maps.
The main screen shows correct instructions, but the HUD and widget display incorrect icons — often showing wrong turn direction or exit.
Please verify if the Android Auto metadata (like NavigationTemplate or TripInfo) is being sent correctly by Waze for HUD integration.5 votes -
Android Auto - Settings icon
Hello.
I use Android, everything is up to date. When I get in and start the car, Android Auto starts and there is a settings icon in the Waze application. While driving, this icon disappears and after stopping the car it is not visible. So when I want to set something, I have to disconnect and reconnect when the car is stationary. I understand that some settings are not allowed while driving, but they could be visible.

Please make Waze compatible on Android version 6.0 again
Please make Waze compatible on Android version 6.0 again. Waze has recently changed the requirements to Android version 7.0 or higher. I am low income and cannot afford a new phone. The Google Maps app is still supported on Android 6.0, as well as the MapQuest app, so I'm not sure why Waze is no longer compatible on Android 6.0.

improvements for android auto
if it is possible, when used together with android auto on the Waze screen, you can at least change the route and be able to stop or restart the sound, or be able to press on the phone screen to resume the route, At the moment you can't do anything while you are connected to android auto from the phone, only from the car screen, and I have a digital dashboard clock that supports android auto but it is not a touch screen, I can't do anything from the waze application while I am connected to android auto, thank you…
